In a world filled with hopelessness, rage, and despair, how do we, as Christians, respond with compassion and love, without eventually experiencing burnout and compassion fatigue? Stephanie is offering you today an enlightening conversation with Hal Donaldson, the founder and president of Convoy of Hope, where he shared valuable insights about the Christian responsibility to acknowledge truth while approaching it with compassion and care. In a fast-paced world that celebrates achievements over rest, author and founder of Convoy of Hope, Hal Donaldson, emphasizes that taking care of yourself isn't optional if you want to live selflessly and fulfill God's calling on your life. When it comes to our personal well-being, success is often more dangerous than failure. Hal Donaldson discusses the profound impact of witnessing hopelessness on a global scale. From his experiences traveling globally with Convoy of Hope, he has seen both the deep needs and opportunities for people to find hope and faith. In a world where despair can be overwhelming, Donaldson emphasizes the importance of responding to rage and disapproval with acts of compassion, mirroring the example set by Jesus Christ. Reflecting on Mother Teresa's advice to "do the next kind thing that God puts in front of you," he inspires us to embody compassion in our actions, particularly in response to hopelessness. But we must be careful: When it comes to our personal well-being, success is often more dangerous than failure. As we try to fulfill others' expectations, we deplete our time, energy, and enthusiasm and end up feeling wrung out or burned out, sometimes even flaming out in spectacular ways. It may feel like the solution is just to quit--our jobs, our passions, our ministries--but there is a way to pour into others and take care of ourselves. The conversation focuses on the pivotal role of the church in demonstrating love and compassion to all people, irrespective of their beliefs. Hal and Stephanie exchange thoughts on the Christian responsibility to acknowledge the truth while approaching it with compassion and care. This brings to light the significance of the church's role in responding to the needs of the world with a God-centered perspective. By shining a light of hope and love into the darkness of despair, the church can serve as a beacon of God's mercy and grace to those who are hurting. Hal sheds light on embracing opportunities to address the needs of the world with a God-centered perspective. Hal Donaldson shares personal experiences and encourages listeners to see the potential for the church to make a positive impact. In a world where hopelessness seems ever-present, he emphasizes the importance of not just acknowledging the needs, but actively seeking opportunities to serve and bring hope. Through stories of his work with Convoy of Hope, Donaldson inspires a call to action for individuals and congregations to seek ways to serve in their own communities, demonstrating compassion and love to those in need. In a world where hopelessness and despair can be pervasive, Hal Donaldson provides a powerful reminder of the importance of responding with compassion and love. By acknowledging the truth with grace and demonstrating God-centered compassion, we can offer hope to those who are hurting. Through his work with Convoy of Hope, Hal Donaldson exemplifies the transformative impact of embracing opportunities to address the world's needs with a mindset centered on God's love and mercy. As we reflect on his wisdom and experiences, let us be inspired to live out our faith by bringing God-centered compassion to a world in need of hope and healing.

How do you help them work together?  Help each person understand their why in relation to how it helps the community or corporation as whole.  What type of things get in the way of coaching or people reaching their potential? The ego, or "I can do it alone" mentality. There's a greater impact when people work together.To work through this, coach people toward an abundance mentality.Do you think leaders still need to be the smartest in the room and know it all? This mentality still exists today, however successful leaders actually exercise humility not superiority.For leaders, humility is the highest skill set. What role does leader vulnerably play in building teams? Vulnerability plays a big part of leading. If you want to know others, you need to be known. Start with being vulnerable in small chunks to build trust. i.e. share a mistake Being vulnerable might not always go as planned.What do you do with a toxic team member? Have a crucial one-on-one conversation with team member - asking questions to understand the team member's perspective:What do you love about our team interactions?What can I do as a leader to better motivate you? What are limiting beliefs? Beliefs that prevent you from executing your full potentialWe've built up beliefs in our lifetime and we don't even know they exist until we talk to a coach to unearth them.  One way to identify a limiting belief is to look for the word because.  The because is usually not true.  Do you recommend affirmations? Yes. People need to hear positive reinforcement - they usually don't get enough, if any at all.Affirmations build positive pathways that lead to more individual success.Top 3 takeaways1) Hold on to your vision for yourself personally & professionally.

Tim wraps up this first year of Navigate talking to Dr. Sam Huddleston about cultivating honor in the places we live and serve as leaders.While there are many components to healthy culture, honor is certainly an important one which often gets neglected in the rush to get things done. Discover how cultivating a culture of honor can transform your relationships and create an atmosphere where ministry can flourish.Bio:Dr. Samuel Huddleston, Assistant Superintendent of the Northern California and Nevada District Assemblies of God assists in giving oversight to over 430 churches. He also served as the founding pastor of Lighthouse Covenant Fellowship in Benicia, California from 1993 to 2004, a church that was started in his living room. He served as the lead Pastor for 11 ½ years until he was elected to his present position. Graduating in 1980 from Bethany College in Santa Cruz, CA, Samuel and his wife Linda moved to San Rafael, California, where he attended Golden Gate Baptist Theological Seminary. Sensing a call to youth ministry, Samuel accepted a position at Church on the Hill in Vallejo, California, where he served from 1981 to 1988 under Pastor Terry Inman. While there, Pastor Inman encouraged Samuel further his education, and he subsequently enrolled at Azusa Pacific University, eventually earning his Masters Degree in Marriage Family and Child Counseling.That educational experience also helped Samuel to finally understand his troubled childhood and what had driven him, years earlier as a reckless teenager, to be involved in a crime that had cost him five years of his life in prison. While incarcerated, Samuel surrendered his life to Christ and learned about God’s unconditional love. His autobiography, Five Years to Life, has inspired people across America and throughout the world, giving them hope for a new beginning. Samuel has shared his testimony with thousands – including, government officials, businessmen, colleges, high schools, and prison inmates – reminding them not only with words but also with his very presence, that God has the power to put broken lives and broken relationships back together again. Before entering the pastorate in Benicia, Samuel was appointed Executive Director of Match Two Prisoner Outreach, at the time was the largest and most successful prison visitation program in the nation, which matches adult inmates and wards (youth) with outside volunteer visitors. Serving from 1988 to 1994, Samuel Huddleston remains the only former prisoner to ever lead a California Department of Corrections program.For 2 ½ years after M-2, during the time he was pastoring Samuel returned to his alma mater to serve as Dean of Students at Bethany University under Dr. Everett Wilson. It was while serving under Dr. Wilson that Samuel decided to continue his education at Regent University in Virginia Beach, Virginia.In May 2006 Samuel received his Doctorate of Ministry degree from Regent, with his wife of 30 years, parents, children, and grandbabies in attendance. Samuel and Linda reside in Rancho Cordova, CA near their three children: Royce, Andre, and Ericka. They have thirteen grandchildren.Resources:Five Years to Life, by Dr. Samuel Huddleston, Available on AmazonSupport the show (https://www.patreon.com/timaustin)
